Using vi editor with Solaris
When I try to edit a ( >100 lines) document using the vi editor I have problems with the screen clearing and "painting" new text. It looks as if I have not matched the terminal emulation between the server and my laptop emulator. I set the Solaris up as VT 100 as well as Terra Term. I get the same results with Putty and Hyper Terminal. Are there some settings I may be forgetting? Also, can I copy a text file from my Sun Solaris box, edit it in Windows Notepad, and then put it back in the Sun box as an alternate way to edit? Thanks
